I know what you mean, and I realize some of the things I've written sound similar to what various rightwing commentators tend to say (e.g.: "concept of objective truth must be analyzed critically.")

But my motive is very different. It's not to deny any kind of injustice or misinformation by hiding behind inherent uncertainties and bothsidesism. I'm not in favor of giving the benefit of the doubt to the powerful by default - that's already happening a lot under our current system of so-called "reputable sources."

Instead, I'm saying that this kind of injustice masking and misinformation may also be present in the very sources that ethical people may have come to trust by habit.

My suggestion is to use the power of LLMs as complementary tools to become even more rational and critical, in the direction of even better ethics and justice.

I'm advocating for even more skepticism of the powerful, not less. I'm advocating the approach Betrand Russell recommended for acting under uncertainties, and feel LLMs can be useful complementary tools for doing just that.
